Verse 1:
E    
Emma appeared like an angel
A              B
Emma fell like rain
  E
Into my lap like a heart attack
     A                  B
like lightning from her name
    E
I'm running dry of bad excuses
A                    B
Don't want to lie or seem intrusive
E
But time hasn't told me 
   A                     B
anything and neither has she

A poinsettia in

poison rain
       E
Traded true love for

We washed it down

the drain with one silver

bullet and two vicodin

With two vicodin

Emma woke up in darkness

suitcase already packed

  Note on the bedstand signed

in blood "Sincerely
             B
never coming back"

A nightmare on my street
the day she arrived
  A
A nightmarish household

in which she died because

it made her feel at home
        A               B
Somehow made me feel at home

through the heart and two vicodin

straight out of town

You went out with a bang when

you took with you all
               E     A
my dreams underground

With you all my

With you all my

dreams underground
